Thread Name: Saxon invades Mudcat - welcome Raedwulf
Subject: RE: Saxon invades Mudcat - welcome Raedwulf
Just been pondering the questions posed by Genie and others:

Is that Raedwulf as in "Red Wolf?"

And is that a self-descriptive name?

I seem to recall from my schooldays and from Tolkien that "Raed" means "advice" or "counsel", and that the Anglo-Saxon monarch Ethelred wasn't the unprepared "Unready", but the ill-advised "Unraede".

Do I get a prize for being close, Raedwulf ?
